Sons More Plenty IMAM money.

One of the employees of the Union
depot, says the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette, who is a member of the Penn
sylvania Relief Association, recently told
Of a funny incident in connection with
the relief fund. II seems that the first
member killed was an Italian laborer at
Twenty-eighth street. The company
buried the body and forwarded to the
mans father in Italy a check for $500.
The old man was so overjoyed at secur.

that he Immediately dispatched another
one to this country with instructions to
get a job on the Pennsylvania Railroad
and become member of the association.
He is still working on the road.

Biting or Threads.

Many ladies use their artificial teeth as
substitutes for scissors, and such use Of
them soon renders repair necessary.
When told that they should not bite
threads with them, they are surprised.

even their natural teeth for such pur-

Less Food Needed in summer.

Growth and waste and repair go on in
a nearly uniform way the whole year
through, but the amount of food 1eces-
sary for these operations or purposes is
surprisingly small. The generation Of
bodily heat requires a more variable
quantity of food In winter, with. the
temperature of the external air at zero,
the temperature of the blood in healthy
persons is 9s.3 degrees; and when the
heats of summer drive the mercury ofthe
thermometer near to or above that mark,
the blood still registers 9s.3 degrees.
The marvellous mechanism by which this
uniform blood temperature is maintained
at all seasons it is not necessary to con-
slider, but it must be evident to every
one that the force needed to raise the
temperature of the whole body to nearly
100 degrees in winter is no longer needed
in summer The total amount OF food
needed for repair, for growth, and Tor

less than is generally imagined, and 1t

is a warm per onal friend of the Car
dinal's. in answer to the Ii rat question,
stated that he bel eyed His Eminence
would, II he permit ed it, receive an
ovation in New York such as had
never been accorded 10 but few men,
rs he had proven by his letter to the
Propegands at Rome, he was atrue
priest Of the church, and, notwith.
standing his piincely position, was a
democratic republican and a true
friend Of the people. By that letter he
identified himself ultimately with the
cause of labor, and showed that his
opportunities for observation among
the humble people OF the country had
not been lost His position, which is
conservative and sensible, has been q
great satisfaction to the members OF
the Catholic Church, and it has gone
far TO weaken the force of DR.. Nc
Glynn's complaint and position OF an
tasonism with tt church. OardiT al
Gibbons has not cha 1ged in manner,
Ia purpose, or in speech from what he
was as the simple priest of q parish.
Ii that position be was as much be-
loved ss DR.. MlGlynn himself.
Though scholarly and studious, he
kept his sympathies for the toiling
masses always fresh and ardent and
thereby slicitipg the affections of all
classes Of people. Held in the
highest veneration and respect by the
Holy Father, he is the strongest
prelate of the Catholic Church in
America. He is a thorough Ameri-
can a I'D believes in his country, and
appre ciates the advantages which here
lave enabled the church to grow il
has not in any other part of the world.
And while anxious to subserve every
demand and every wish OF the church,
he hopes 1t will not run counter to the
spirit and genius OF our form Of gov
eminent, of the lawful wishes and
wants Of the people.
Mr.. O'Brien is himself a Catholic
and values and appreciates the Ser
vices Of the Cardinal to the church
and the labo ing and workingmen OF
the country. Ard as his friend, is
very proud of the clear distinctions
of reciprocal benefits and obligations
which Cardinal Gibbons made in q
letter that takes its place in the
archives OF Rome SO one OF the ablest
papers presented by any Of the digni-
taries OF the church.
Thanking Mr.. O'Brien for his court
esy, the reporter of the APPEAL took
his leave.

whose historic forms gather the
attaChm ents, associations, admiiatione

distinguish American character. Not
all had the early opportunities and
educational advantages, nor occupy so
much space In history and biography
as that splendid character THAT
stands out almost alone In its
wondrous combinations Of human
graces, virtues aud abilities among
the noble and cultivated sons
OF the South, like the magnificent
